Beneath its provocative title lies a track that’s less about literal malice and more about the emotional death of someone’s hold on you. It’s bold, cathartic, and quietly devastating.
Baser’s vocals are plaintive and unguarded, carrying the weight with great strength as she captures the disorienting mix of grief, anger, and relief that often follows the proper end of a toxic relationship. The production is stripped-back but purposeful, allowing the lyrics to cut through with clarity. Lines like “You were the one to start my emptiness / What kind of monster leaves a girl like this?” land not with her usual theatrical flair, but with the stillness of realisation.
This track feels like an insight into Caity’s journal as she sings, “I rip the words right off the page”, giving the listener a glimpse into her unfiltered emotions. The vulnerability is palpable, with the slow build of tension throughout the track mirroring the emotional unravelling she describes, culminating in moments that feel both confessional and empowering.
‘The Weight Of You (I’m Glad You Died)’ is a sharp, sobering and unforgettable track that joins ‘Watch That Girl (She’s Gonna Say It)’ and ‘The Story Of Her’ on her upcoming EP, titled ‘There, I Said It’, which is set for release on August 22nd.
